A planet of mass 2 × 10^24 kg is at location ⟨ -7 × 10^11, 3 × 10^11, 0 ⟩ m. A star of mass 8 × 10^30 kg is at location ⟨ 5 × 10^11, -5 × 10^11, 0 ⟩ m. What is the vector force exerted on the planet by the star?
Added by Guillermo L.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the vector distance between the planet and the star by subtracting their coordinates: \(r = (5 \times 10^{11} - (-7 \times 10^{11}), -5 \times 10^{11} - 3 \times 10^{11}, 0) = (1 \times 10^{12}, -8 \times 10^{11}, 0)\) Show more…

A planet of mass 5 × 10^24 kg is at location (-4 × 10^11, 7 × 10^11, 0) m. A star of mass 9 × 10^30 kg is at location (4 × 10^11, -5 × 10^11, 0) m. What is the force exerted on the planet by the star? (It will probably be helpful to draw a diagram, including the relevant vectors.) Force on planet = N

A planet of mass 4 × 10^24 kg is at location (6 × 10^11, -4 × 10^11, 0) m. A star of mass 5 × 10^30 kg is at location (-5 × 10^11, 5 × 10^11, 0) m. It will be useful to draw a diagram of the situation, including the relevant vectors. (a) What is the relative position vector r pointing from the planet to the star? (b) What is the distance between the planet and the star? (c) What is the unit vector r̂ in the direction of r? (d) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the planet by the star? (e) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the star by the planet? (f) What is the force (vector) exerted on the planet by the star? (Note the change in units.) (g) What is the force (vector) exerted on the star by the planet? (Note the change in units.)
